There is no need to study neither Advaita Vedanta nor Vedas nor Buddhism to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman.+

 

If you are the seeker of truth then you must know Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana is Advaitic wisdom.

If you are seeking truth in India then you must know yoga is not the means to acquire Self-knowledge or Brahma Gnana or Atma Gnana. Yoga is good as a healthcare kit it helps to remove mental and physical stress.

All religious-based Advaita is not for those seriously seeking the truth. There is no need to study scriptures, there is no need to practice rituals, and there is no need to believe in the belief of God. There is no need to meditate in the forests or mountain caves. There is no need to attend sermons.

As per the scriptures, the three "Ashrams" or stages in life were originally intended for three grades of intelligence thus: ~

Religion: low intellects had to do 'karmas' works, ritual actions, chanting of mantras indulging in bhajans and prayers, etc.

Middle intellects: Yoga: taking yellow robes, going to caves, ashrams, etc.

High intellects: wisdom who wanted truth is concerned with no external rites or sanyasa but depends solely on intelligent inquiry for their path.

The seeker has to choose his path according to your taste and capacity.

According to Advaita Vedanta, the Veda addresses itself to two kinds of audiences - the ordinary ones who desire the transitory heaven and other pleasures obtained as a result of ritual sacrifices, and the most advanced seeker who seeks to know Brahman. Thus, the purva mimam. sa, with its emphasis on the karma kanda of the Vedas, is meant for the first audience, to help lead its followers along the way. However, the Vedanta, with its emphasis on the jnana kanda, is meant for those who wish to go beyond such transient pleasures.

Those who lack intelligence have to follow the path of religion or yoga, which is meant for the ignorant populace. Serious seekers must follow the path of wisdom.

Those who lack the intelligence to discriminate between formless witness (subject) and three states (object) will not be able to grasp what is real and what is unreal. Both subject and object are consciousness, not subject alone.

Religious orthodox think that through their good karma and performing rituals, they get moksha.

The religious orthodoxy is meant for the ignorant populace The Atmic path, emphasis on the Advaitic wisdom is meant for those who wish to realize the truth, which is hidden by the ‘I’, which is the dualistic illusion.

Although Sage Sankara puts the mystic goal highest in his mystical books, he is careful to say that this goal leads to Brahman, not that it is realization.

That is why Sage Sankara: ~ VC- Let erudite scholars quote all the scripture, let Gods be invoked through sacrifices, let elaborate rituals be performed, let personal Gods be propitiated---yet, without the realization of one‘s identity With the Self, there shall be no liberation for the individual, not even in the lifetimes of a hundred Brahmas put together (verses-6)

As one goes deeper into the annals of history one becomes aware of the fact that the so-called present Hinduism has adopted many things from Buddhism, the religion of Abraham, Jainism, and Islam. If one goes deeper enough he will become aware everything is mixed up and messed up in time.

No one has taken pains to rectify it because; people have inherited them, from their ancestors and they think it is blasphemy even to hear anything against their inherited religion and belief. Once one gets involved with the religious class it is the end of the pursuit of truth.

Advaitic orthodoxy, which is meant for the ignorant populace holds the experience of birth, life, and death, which happens in the world as a reality whereas the Sage Sankara declares the world is unreal and Brahman (God) alone is real.

Advaitic orthodoxy, which is meant for the ignorant populace believes and worships mythical non-Vedic Gods as real God and indulges in non-Vedic rituals and activities whereas Sage Sankara’s supreme Brahman(God) is Nirguna (without the Gunas), Nirakara (formless), Nirvisesha (without attributes) and Akarta (non-agent).

There is no need to study neither Advaita Vedanta nor Vedas nor Buddhism to realize the ultimate truth or Brahman. It is no use going roundabout way; trace the Brahman.

Sage Sankara said: ~ Neither by the practice of yoga nor philosophy, nor by good works nor by learning, does liberation come, but only through the realization that Atman and Brahman are one in no other way. (1) Vivekachoodamani v 56, pg 25

Sage Sankara says the transparent Truth of the ‘Self’, which is hidden by the illusion, is to be attained through the instructions of a knower of Brahman, (Gnani) then why you are sticking a Guru who is not a Gnani.

Sage Sankara says: ~ “The exercise in discrimination between real and unreal and renunciation of the false is real meditation, then why you are indulging in other types of meditation. : ~ Santthosh Kumaar
